First time grower - Widow question

[Twisteddragon]

Hi I'm growing a widow along with other strains I'm growing under a maxspect r420r 300 watt led the plant is 23 days old from seed it's about 5 inch tall but it's very bushy with a lot of growth from the nodes with short stems and smaller leaves should I trim these off and top the plant or should I just let it grow naturally?

I'm curious to hear the answer for this, my babies are beginning to be real bushy and short too. Wondering if I should pull the light away to make them stretch some.

My light is led 300 watt and about 15 inch above the canopy not sure if that's to close or whether mine should be further away aswell

I have a feeling that it's a good thing that our plants are like this. Might make for some nice dense buds towards the end.

This is my first grow I've seen loads of vids and pics and they always look taller and not bushy that's why I'm wondering if your meant to trim but if the end result is nice dense buds il be happy lol

Different strains will grow differently. That being said, plants tend to be bushier and have tighter nodes under LED. I have a Dream Machine that is from seed that is super bushy and I have to keep trimming her.

Should I trim the little leaves off or should I just let her grow naturally I read about topping them but I think mine is to short to do that not sure

 

[Dave Groomer]

I would let her grow for now. I usually will trim after about 25-28 days of flower, then again around day 45 if necessary. I want my plants to go through their stretch before I trim.
